Damping of density oscillations in neutrino-transparent nuclear matter
Damping of density oscillations in neutrino-transparent nuclear matter
We calculate the bulk-viscous dissipation time for adiabatic density oscillations in nuclear matter at densities of 1-7 times nuclear saturation density and at temperatures ranging from 1 MeV, where corrections to previous low-temperature calculations become important, up to 10 MeV, where the assumption of neutrino transparency is no longer valid. …
